Banana importer, coffee importer,
2nd most dangerous place in America,
2nd most dangerous airport worldwide,
Corrupt Government, Drug importer,
Worst streets in America.
You say we are ignorant: Yes, it’s true
I have seen walls written were people write
“revolucion” like this, “reboluzion”.
You say we are dangerous: Yes, it’s true I’ve been
assaulted 2 times by thieves.
You say we are corrupt: Yes, it’s true I have seen
our President trying to make our democratic republic
to a communist one.
And having answered to you I turn once more to you who
sneer at this my city, and I give you back the sneer
and say to you:
Come and show me another country that has the 2nd
biggest coral reef, another country that is going through an
economic collapse but still is smiling and dancing with Costa Rica
and El Salvador.
Show me another country that when their national soccer team
plays everybody unites their hearts and screams joy at the same time.
This is a hard country and only the strong ones can handle it.
This is a wild country and only the wildest can handle it.
Only the ones that are strong, aware, vivid and careful, and
fighters will survive against every obstacle this country has.
Only the perseverant are allowed to live here, the ones who
believe in this country.
Under critics of many other nations we keep working hard and living our
lives smiling and everyone else tries to get that smile off our faces.
when they think we will hear them, but everyday our smile just gets bigger.
Every up and every down makes every Honduran stronger.
Under all the poverty, we keep helping every mom, child, father, man and woman
Praying for them every day.
Proud to be a banana importer and a coffee importer,
Proud to have the most beautiful Mayan city, our precious Copan.
Proud to have an enormous tourist attraction, known in every corner of the World,
The Bay Islands.
Proud to live in Honduras.
Proud to be Hondurans.
Sincerely,
Honduras.
